Half a moon up there,
playin' "Lonely Ol' Night"-
"...livin' on those in-betweens..." *
Whole moon? No moon?
Those you can deal with.
But those in-betweens -
They're tricky.
*Song title and line borrowed from John Mellencamp
Is this horrible? Does it matter that it follows no definite form?

To answer your questions no and no. I read this and ponder the gray areas and the limbo moon. When a reader's thoughts travel as a result of your words, that's a good thing

Rocky, it is the thought that matters,
the thinking, musing trail you leave
upon the page. (And, of course, the
latent Mellencamp melody.)
The "in-betweens," the unknown,
the waiting for the doctor, then
still the unknowns, no yes or no,
only possibilities. Well, that's
one shared take.

Yes, the middling ground is the hard thing...look at relationships for example...love we understand, hate too...the trouble is that middle ground where we are left not knowing what the other person actually thinks.
And of course that is possibly the main thrust of this poem...that moon, it speaks of love, but the half moon? That is indeed another thing.
I can live on half-love, just don't short me on my bottle of Moxie!
